&quot;How do you feel? That is the question, but I forget you don&#039;t expect an easy answer. When something like a soul becomes initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes you can&#039;t expect a bit of hope...&quot;<br /> -Stone Sour &quot;Through the Glass&quot;

Behind brown eyes,
is a softer soul,
where everything is lost within,
where no one else can go.

Stuck behind the glasses,
is art waiting to break free.
But this artist hides inside,
awaiting to be foreseen.

So gentle is this acrobat,
of masterful design.
She stands on her tip toes,
reaching for the sky line.

When will she shine,
Angel of mine?

When will your dream come true?
The answer is behind those eyes,
just look inside of you.

The author's comments:
I started a poem off once with "behind blue eyes" and then I decided to make a poem with "behind [color] eyes" and dedicate each poem to the friend that they represented. This one is for my friend Brenna, who is really creative, but kind of shy.
